He makes me *so* proud...

I've told David that since this is my blog, it's not about him, and if he wants to write/make funny stuff he can start his own LJ or something. But I got a copy of an email that he sent to his entire family yesterday which has caused so much mirth amongst my co-workers that I couldn't resist sharing it.

Here's one way to get your family to behave themselves at Christmas: Make it clear who's calling the shots, get it early, and do it in writing. LOL... Good luck making your own version and sending out to your family, who after this should be suitably submissive, or at least more open about their murderous intentions for the holiday season *grin*

Hi relatives

Just a quick note – lets face it, I don’t write long ones

Moni and I will be arriving sat evening 9.05pm on Qantas flight something or other from Melbourne.  We will be getting a nice Hertz car.

We will be leaving New Years Day about 8am

In betweens that we will sit and watch cricket and do knitting.   There will be no conversations about weather, or what I did when I was five, or weight.  There will be alcohol.  Everyone will admire Moni’s shoes.

There may be a trip to cradle mountain.  We are hoping for snow again. Please organise this.

The Taste of Tasmania will be thoroughly investigated and reported upon.

We may burn piles of parental leafy stuff at our discretion, if children are playing in aforementioned piles then that is not our responsibility.

Any presents we give are to be oohed and ahhed at.  Any presents we receive should have a receipt attached plus a breakdown costing so we can properly calculate what we are worth to you.  If it is ascertained that we have spent more on your present please prepare to return our gifts so we can purchase something cheaper.

Any children are to be properly oiled and salted.

Wishing a highly pro-active Christmas.

Tassie Christmas - drop me an email if you're near Latobe and would like refuge, cricket and knitting at any point - happy to be a resting place between familial responsibilities!
